Why The Portland Trail Blazers Do The Deal
Let’s hope Martin is more concerned with being on a winning team than he is about his own playing time. In all likelihood, it’ll get slashed in Portland.
After all, this team will be trying to win games this season. Meanwhile, Jerami Grant and Josh Hart will have the starting forward positions locked down.
Realistically, Martin will even be behind Naz Little in the rotation. He’ll be fighting for playoff time with Trenton Watford.
Either way – this isn’t about Martin’s interest in Portland. It’s about the team’s interest in him. Should the Blazers really target KJ Martin?
We think it makes sense. For Portland, this deal is about bolstering their wing depth. The outgoing Walker has proven very little in the NBA.

By contrast, we know Martin can catch lobs, run in transition, and knock down open 3s. Moreover, he has the physical tools to develop into a solid defender as well.
Should the Rockets really give up on such a player?
